Signal to Noise, Francesco Martinelli – Italy
“….. warm-toned, richly ornamental style alternately recalls Kenny Burrell and Larry Coryell, swung tastefully and insistently….”
Bill Milkowski – Jazz Times, USA
“…. Önder Focan who proves to be an interesting guitar player with a very mellow tone as well as a cleverer than usual composers.”
Marge Hofacre’s Jazz News – USA
“…. Önder Focan et ses harmonies metheniennes subtilement decalees.”
Jazz Hot, Pascal Kober – France
“… I knew of course Önder Focan for some of his many musical enterprises but his Pera Trio (a reference to the historical Istanbul area) shows yet another facet of his personality, inspired by masters of jazz guitar from Jim Hall to Pat Metheny.”
